Abasi Rosborough NYFWM S/S19 – Review

INSPIRED BY: The collective concept of belonging to a tribe, designers Abdul Abasi and Greg Rosborough cited the Bedouin peoples of North Africa and the Navajo and Hopi groups of Arizona as key influences behind the duo’s “Desert Phantom” collection
POP-CULTURE NOD: Carlos Ponce as wellness teacher Salvadore in a conservative sequel to Vince Vaughn’s Couples Retreat.
WEAR IT TO: Welcome drinks overlooking the cascading rice terraces and Ayung River Valley in front of your private villa at the Amandari five-star resort in Bali’s Ubud, before partaking in a private yoga class and guided meditation session at sunset.
FIRST READ: Breathable jackets, shorts and pants, crafted from organic and sustainably-sourced fabrics, tribal prints and headpieces combined to create a Zen-like lineup with an ethnic vibe, while loose-fitting separates in neutral tones added to the brand’s wearability factor for balmy summer evenings.
BEST LOOK: A black silk smoking jacket, worn over a side-fastened white linen shirt and olive shorts, styled with white zip-up boots.
EYE-CATCHING ACCENTS: Japanese-style kimonos worn open to create a relaxed feel, tribal face paint, paper bags housing tealight candles lining the runway and a live music act in the center of the room helped narrate the show’s multicultural theme.
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: “This set reminds me I need to book a summer glamping trip in Monument Valley Park outside Vegas for my best-friend’s bachelorette next month.”
COLOR WHEEL: Olive, slate, white, rust, black, navy, charcoal, red, maroon, orange.
